Ashton was the third and final shooter for the Pats in the shootout, but he hit the post and couldnâ€™t extend the tie-breaker. Ashton is tied for sixth on the club in scoring, behind two defensemen. His minus-7 rating is tied for third worst on the team. The Regina newspaper reported this week itâ€™s not a matter of â€œif,â€ but â€œwhenâ€ and â€œwhereâ€ Ashton gets traded within the WHL, but Regina needs for him to play to his 1st round capabilities so they can maximize the return for their rebuilding effort. Regina is tied for the fewest points in the league with Kelowna at 2-7-1-1.

Connolly ran his point streak to 11 games and his goal streak to 6 games with his second straight 2-goal game. Heâ€™s scored at least twice in 3 of his last 4 games. Reigning WHL and CHL Player of the Week Sena Acolatse, a right-handed, undrafted, overage defenseman, had 2 assists in the game. Acolatse has 13 points in 8 games this season with Prince George since coming over from Saskatoon.
